EB-5 FAQ

What is the EB-5 Investor Program?

The EB-5 investor program permits foreign investors, their spouses, and dependents (unmarried children below 21 years of age) to receive a green card if they meet the program’s requirements. EB 5 Visa requires the applicant to spend at least $800,000 on a new business. The new business must create ten full-time positions for United States citizens. To qualify for the EB5 Immigrant Investor Program, the investor must demonstrate and substantiate the source’s validity.

Program Creation

The EB-5 Program was created by the United States Congress in 1990 to stimulate the U.S. economy through foreign capital investment and job creation. In 1992, the Immigrant Investor Program was established by Congress, otherwise called the Regional Center Program. This program allocates EB-5 visas to applicants who invest in regional center-affiliated commercial enterprises approved by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to promote economic growth.
